Banned for Work re Eastern European thread

bonkey · 06-12-2006 04:40PM

Offtopic :

Isn't there some 'Law' which states that every post correcting a spelling or grammatical error will itself contain a spelling or grammatical error?

But hey, knock yourselves out.

Ontopic:

I would agree with the mod's decision. However, had I been in BossArky's position, the first thing I would have asked is why the OP was only interested in Eastern Europeans to fill his positions, and not EU citizens from outside Ireland. Why would - for example - a Spanish or Italian horticulturist not be acceptable or sought?

Eh, it was a statement, not a question. Will that do? Hey wait a minute, are you a mod of literature or a mod in literature?

I could answer that apparent question. However I'm now rather confused as to whether it actually was a statement or a question. Your preceding post demonstrates a flagrant disregard for the question mark :eek:

To clear up this whole debacle let me state that I am actually more of a rocker than mod.

Look pal, you've more grammatical errors in your first sentence than I have in my last 2000 posts. It was a joke.

While you are not required to get jokes, it helps to have a modicum of wit before mashing the reply button in retaliation to percieved injustice.

I've read your posts and that is a lie!

It seems that we have some fresh faces for Spell Czechs.

I initially read in a second "e" into faces. Yucky.

Tar.Aldarion · 06-12-2006 05:53PM

Well, we need some fresh... too.
I'm getting tired of that particular moderating doodee; are you not also?

hullaballoo · 06-12-2006 05:57PM

I take it slightly more seriously than you and I'm not so quick to pooh-pooh it. I will admit it needs something more to set it afloat again.

Tar.Aldarion · 06-12-2006 06:20PM

Ah, yes you do, do you not?
Then again, you probably enjoy the menial tasks more, as you've always been number two.

Seriously, guys: cut the crap.

Semi-colon no?

The Sweeper · 07-12-2006 02:13AM

I think in this case the colon is correct as it is introducing a new concept into a sentence. A semi-colon should never be used to introduce a new concept; it is best used as a super-comma or a tool to avoid the comma splice.

A semi-colon can be used to link two independent sentences together where a full stop would be too abrupt or create ambiguity. By using a semi-colon we have the meaning from the first sentence 'carry-on' into the second and thus reduce the ambiguity of the second. So yeah I think it's ok to introduce a new concept...

BossArky · 07-12-2006 03:48AM

Jesus; I am totally lost.

I had followed the conversation up until the introducation of a "semi-colon". What the hell is that?

Akin to a semicolon in much the same way as a muppet is akin to a puppet?

nesf · 07-12-2006 04:06AM

Afaik you can use semi-colon? Following the usual convention for semi-X.

I could be wrong though.

The Sweeper · 07-12-2006 10:32AM

I have but one defence: look at the time on the posts, would you?

hullaballoo · 07-12-2006 12:23PM

Allways read the small-print. Terms and conditions apply.

BossArky · 07-12-2006 02:52PM

Back on topic .... Can someone now lift the ban keeping me out of the work fourm? It has been a week. No response to my PM to the mod who put me out in the cold in the first place.

When did you send the PM? I've unbanned you anyway.
